Description

Record-breaking rainfall has triggered devastating floods across central Vietnam, submerging parts of the UNESCO-listed cities of Hue and Hoi An. Over a metre of rain fell within 24 hours — the heaviest on record — inundating homes, cutting power to hundreds of thousands, and forcing thousands to evacuate amid warnings that the severe weather could persist through the week.
